自由女神像简介

自由女神像简介篇一:自由女神像介绍自由女神像介绍自由女神像(Statue of Liberty),又称“自由照耀世界”(Liberty Enlightening the World),是法国在1876年赠送给美国的独立100周年礼物。

美国的自由女神像位于美国新泽西州泽西市哈德逊河口附近,是雕像所在的美国自由岛的重要观光景点。

美国的自由女神像以法国塞纳河的自由女神像作蓝本,法国著名雕塑家巴托尔迪历时10年艰辛完成了雕像的雕塑工作,女神的外貌设计来源于雕塑家的母亲,而女神高举火炬的右手则是以雕塑家妻子的手臂为蓝本。

自由女神穿着古希腊风格的服装,所戴头冠有象征世界七大洲及五大洋的七道尖芒。

女神右手高举象征自由的火炬,左手捧着刻有1776年7月4日的《独立宣言》,脚下是打碎的手铐、脚镣和锁链。

她象征着自由、挣脱暴政的约束,在1886年10月28日落成并揭幕。

雕像锻铁的内部结构是由后来建造了巴黎埃菲尔铁塔的居斯塔夫·埃菲尔设计的。

自由女神像高46米,加基座为93米,重200多吨,是金属铸造,置于一座混凝土制的台基上。

自由女神的底座是著名的约瑟夫·普利策筹集10万美金建成的,现在的底座是一个美国移民史博物馆。

1984年,自由女神像被列为世界文化遗产。

美国自由女神像英文介绍

美国自由女神像英文介绍

The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World; French: La Libertééclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City, in the United States. The copper statue, a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886.The Statue of Liberty is a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess. She holds a torch above her head, and in her left arm carries a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) inscribed "July 4, 1776", the date of the American Declaration of Independence. A broken chain lies at her feet. The statue became an icon of freedom and of the United States, and was a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad.Bartholdi was inspired by French law professor and politician Édouard Renéde Laboulaye, who is said to have commented in 1865 that any monument raised to American independence would properly be a joint project of the French and American peoples. Due to the post-war instability in France, work on the statue did not commence until the early 1870s. In 1875, Laboulaye proposed that the French finance the statue and the Americans would provide the site and build the pedestal. Bartholdi completed the head and the torch-bearing arm before the statue was fully designed, and these pieces were exhibited for publicity at international expositions.The torch-bearing arm was displayed at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, and in Madison Square Park in Manhattan from 1876 to 1882. Fundraising proved difficult, especially for the Americans, and by 1885 work on the pedestal was threatened due to lack of funds. Publisher Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World started a drive for donations to complete the project that attracted more than 120,000 contributors, most of whom gave less than a dollar. The statue was constructed in France, shipped overseas in crates, and assembled on the completed pedestal on what was then called Bedloe's Island. The statue's completion was marked by New York's first ticker-tape parade and a dedication ceremony presided over by President Grover Cleveland.The statue was administered by the United States Lighthouse Board until 1901 and then by the Department of War; since 1933 it has been maintained by the National Park Service. Public access to the balcony surrounding the torch has been barred for safety reasons since 1916.自由女神像(自由启发世界;法语:LaLibertééclairantle monde)是一个巨大的新古典主义的雕塑在自由岛在纽约港在纽约市,在美国。

The Torch Has Been Passed to a New Generation of Americans

The Torch Has Been Passed to a New Generation of Americans

A single spark can start a prairie fire.星星之火可以燎原。

The Torch Has Been Passed to a NewGeneration of Americans火炬已经传给新一代美国人Mr.Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, Reverend Clergy, fellow citizens: We observe today not a victory of party ,but a celebration of freedom ---symbolizing an end , as well as a beginning ---signifying renewal, as well as change . For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century andthree-quarters ago.The world is very different now. For man holds inhis ,moral hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life .And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe---the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state , but from the hand of God.We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution .Let the word go forth from this time andplace, to friend and foe alike ,that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans---born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage ,and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.Let every nation know ,whether it wishes us well or ill , that we shall pay any price, bear any burden , meet any hardship , support any friend , oppose any foe , to assure the survival and the success of liberty .Now the trumpet summons us again ---not as a call to bear arms , though arms we need ---not as a call to battle, though embattled we are---but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle , year in and year out , "rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation,"---a struggle against the common enemies of man :tyranny,poverty, disease, and war itself.And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you ;ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world ,ask not what Americawill do for you , but what together we can do for the freedom of man .Finally,whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world ,ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.。

肯尼迪就职演讲观后感

肯尼迪就职演讲观后感

肯尼迪就职演讲观后感篇一:肯尼迪就职演说评析美国第三十五任总统JohnFitzgeraldFrancisKennedy(1917-1963)约翰.弗.肯尼迪1961年元月20日在首都华盛顿国会大厦前发表“就职演说”时,我在读初中三年级,学的是俄语。

直到1980年,我才在美国出版的“EnglishForToday”“今日英语”教材的第五册里阅读到了这篇演说,而且还听了这篇演说的实况录音。

现在这篇演说已被一字未删地选入《advancedEnglish》“高级英语”(张汉熙主编,商务印书馆出版发行),《21centurycollegeEnglish》“二十一世纪大学英语”(复旦大学,交通大学主编;高等教育出版社,复旦大学出版社出版发行)英语教材里作为高等院校的英语学习教材。

1980年,那时大学外语教学还是很原始落后的。

我想得到英语版的联合国“人权宣言”,但在当时武汉的中南财经学院图书馆里没有。

找到武汉大学图书馆,那里才只有一本油印的“人权宣言”小册子。

我想得到英文版的“中华人民共和国刑法”这书,武汉的外文书店买不到。

我托原北京地院外语老师去北京外国专家局找有关专家打听此书,专家说,《刑法》英文译文由他翻译,正在他手里,由于没有出版,他不能外借。

肯尼迪“就职演说”是在演说之后十九年被我们看到。

时过境迁,20XX年元月20日,全世界几乎所有的人都能从网上及各种媒体上听到,见到,读到美国第一位黑人总统奥巴马的“就职演说”。

虽然有的人看到的是被有些媒体屏掉了(RecallthatearliergenerationsfaceddownFascismandcommunismnotjust withmissilesandtanksbutwithsturdyalliancesandenduringconvictions.我们在此回忆先辈,他们战胜了法西斯主义和共产主义,靠的不仅是导弹,坦克;更是靠坚定的盟友和不移的信念。

火把作文600字作文初二

火把作文600字作文初二英文回答:A torch, a simple tool consisting of a burning piece of wood or other combustible material, has played asignificant role throughout human history. From providing light in the darkness to signaling over long distances, the torch has been an essential object in a variety of settings.One of the most important uses of the torch is as a source of illumination. Before the advent of electricity, torches were the primary means of providing light in homes, caves, and other enclosed spaces. The warm, flickering glow of a torch could dispel the darkest of shadows, creating a sense of safety and security.Apart from its use as a light source, the torch hasalso served as a means of communication. By waving or flashing a torch, people could send coded messages overlong distances. This method of signaling was particularlyuseful in military scenarios, where it allowed troops to communicate without alerting the enemy.In addition to its practical applications, the torchhas also held symbolic significance in various cultures.For example, the Olympic torch represents the enduringspirit of the Olympic Games, while the Statue of Liberty's torch symbolizes enlightenment and freedom.中文回答:一把火把,一个由燃烧的木头或其他可燃材料组成的简单工具,在整个人类历史上发挥了重要作用。

奥运火炬传递的英语作文

奥运火炬传递的英语作文

奥运火炬传递的英语作文The Olympic Torch Relay is a symbolic tradition that precedes the commencement of the Olympic Games. Dating back to ancient Greece, where a flame was ignited by the sun's rays and kept burning until the Games concluded, the relay has evolved into a global spectacle, embodying the spirit of unity, peace, and athleticism.The torch, a beacon of hope and inspiration, travels through various cities, countries, and continents, carried by a diverse array of torchbearers. Each torchbearer symbolizes the values of the Olympic Movement and the unique cultural identity of their region. As the flame passes from one hand to another, it signifies thecontinuity of the Olympic spirit across generations and borders.One of the most remarkable aspects of the Olympic Torch Relay is its ability to unite people worldwide. It serves as a reminder of the shared humanity that transcendspolitical, cultural, and geographical boundaries. Whetherit's in bustling metropolises or remote villages, the sight of the Olympic flame ignites a sense of pride and excitement among spectators, fostering a sense of belonging to a global community.Moreover, the torch relay promotes the ideals of peace and friendship, echoing the ancient Olympic Truce, where conflicts were set aside to allow athletes to compete in harmony. As the torch journeys through conflict zones and areas of adversity, it carries with it a message of hope and reconciliation. It serves as a powerful symbol of resilience and perseverance, reminding us that even in the face of adversity, the human spirit can triumph.Furthermore, the torch relay leaves a lasting legacy in the communities it visits. It provides an opportunity for host cities to showcase their culture, heritage, and achievements on the world stage. Local residents enthusiastically line the streets, cheering on the torchbearers and participating in festivities, thereby fostering a sense of pride and unity within the community.In addition to its symbolic significance, the torch relay also has practical implications for the organization of the Olympic Games. It serves as a dress rehearsal for the logistics involved in hosting such a monumental event, allowing organizers to test transportation routes, security protocols, and crowd management strategies. Moreover, it generates excitement and anticipation in the lead-up to the Games, building momentum and generating enthusiasm among athletes and spectators alike.In conclusion, the Olympic Torch Relay is much more than a ceremonial tradition; it is a powerful symbol of unity, peace, and friendship. As the flame travels around the world, it leaves an indelible mark on all those who witness its journey, inspiring hope, fostering goodwill, and bringing people together in celebration of the Olympic ideals.。

2023年中考英语最新热点时文阅读-天问一号祝融号01(2021年福建省厦门市海沧区中考二模英语试题)China’s Mars rover (火星车) Zhurong, named after the Chinese god of fire, landed safely on Mars on May 15, making China only the second behind the United States to fully succeed.The 240-kilogram, six-wheeled rover is equipped (配备) with six scientific instruments, giving it the appearance of a “blue butterfly”. Unlike Perseverance, the American Mars rover, Zhurong needs sunlight to power itself. Now that Zhurong has got down successfully, it is expected to spend the next 90 days mapping the area on Mars, monitoring (监测) changes in weather such as temperature and searching for signs of water ice. Zhurong will therefore help build a more complete geological picture of the red planet’s history.China has successfully landed on the moon three times, and has even brought back lunar rocks to Earth. But landing on Mars is even more difficult. Mars exploration is known for its high risks and difficulties, as well as the uncertainties in the long-distance interstellar (星际) flight. The landing is the most challenging part of it. Around half of Mars exploration missions (探索任务) failed, and most of them went wrong in the landing process. A Mars landing is often considered as “the seven minutes of terror” because the process is completely autonomous. “The distance was too far away for the spacecraft so it has to do it all on its own.” said Chen Lan, a scientist in China’s space program. “If something went wrong, people on earth have no way to help.”“Mars is the planet in our solar system that we are most likely to live in the future. That’s why we want to understand it,” Ge said. “The success of Zhurong’s landing will lay the foundation for future Mars missions, including a sample return mission in 2030.”1.Which insect does Zhurong Rover look like most?A.B.C.D.2.There are many jobs that Zhurong is supposed to do EXCEPT ________.A.map the Mars B.study the weatherC.change the temperature D.look for water3.What does the underlined word “autonomous” probably mean in the passage?A.self-directed B.trusted C.man-controlled D.prepared4.Paragraph 3 is mainly about the ________ Mars exploration.A.history B.challenge C.distance D.process5.We can learn from the passage that ________.A.the American rover is powered like Zhurong B.the mission of Zhurong will last about 3 months C.few Mars exploration missions succeed D.we are possible to move to Mars in 203002(广东省深圳市福田区高级中学2021-2022学年七年级上学期期末英语试题)On May 15, Zhang Rongqiao wiped tears from his eyes as China’s Mars rover (巡视器) Zhurong landed safely on Mars. “I was so excited,” said Zhang.As the chief designer (总设计师) of China’s Tianwen Ⅰ Mars mission (任务), Zhang was chosen by the journal Nature on Dec 16 as one of the top 10 people “who helped shape science” in 2021. Under Zhang, China made a huge step in interplanetary (行星向的) exploration. “I got a taste of the old Chinese saying - it takes 10 years to sharpen a good sword,” Zhang told Nature.In the Mars mission, Zhang led a team of thousands of researchers. The team was not only responsible for technical work like launches and flight control, but also for scientific research on Mars.There were many difficulties. They knew little about the strange and complex environment of Mars. “We may not even know what we do not know about,” Zhang told Nature.During the process, Zhang played a key part in the decision to send an orbiter (轨道飞行器), a lander (着陆器) and a rover to Mars together in one shipment (运输) - making China the first country to do so. “That’s a big leap (飞跃) because China is doing in a single go (what NASA took decades (数十年) to do),” said Roberto Orosei from the Institute of Radioastronomy of Bologna in Italy.Zhang also made the important decision to land the rover on Utopia Planitia, where there are speciallandforms (地形) for scientists to study. He hopes that the mission can do as much research as possible and bring back “rich” information.“The buck stops with him (他敢作敢当),” said David Flannery, an astrobiologist (天体生物学家) at Queensland University of Technology in Australia.6.What is included in the Mars mission?a. Launching the rover.b. Controlling the flight.c. Bringing back space junk.d. Doing scientific research.A.abc B.abd C.acd D.bcd7.What does Paragraph 4 show?A.Zhang and his team knew nothing about Mars.B.Zhang and his team faced many challenges. C.Zhang was confident about exploring Mars.D.Zhang and his team were not afraid of challenges. 8.What is Roberto Orosei’s opinion?A.China’s Mars mission will last for decades.B.China shortened its road to exploring Mars.C.China finished its Mars mission with NASA’s help.D.China is the first country to send a rover to Mars.9.The rover was sent to Utopia Planitia to ________.A.avoid bad weather B.find treasure on MarsC.receive messages from Earth D.study special landforms10.According to the story, Zhang is considered as a ________ person.A.decisive B.changeable C.selfless D.humorous03(广东省广州市铁一中学2021-2022学年八年级上学期期末英语试题)China has successfully landed its rover(火星车) on Mars (火星), according to state media, becoming the second country in history to have a rover on the red planet.The rover, Zhurong, named after a god of fire in Chinese story, May 15th 2021.The six-wheel solar-powered Zhurong rover weighs about 240 kilograms and carries six scientificinstruments. It will carry out a three-month task in search of life on Mars’ surface. It will receive signals (信号) from the Tianwen-1 Mars orbiter.Tianwen-1 Mars orbiter had spent three months in orbit(轨道) working out possible landing sites before Zhurong was sent out to the surface of Mars.Tianwen-1, whose name means “Quest for Heavenly Truth”, was sent up into space by a Long March 5 rocket from the Wenchang space launch center in Hainan on July 23rd last year, and has successfully been in the orbit of Mars since February 2021.11.What does “the red planet” refer to?A.The rover Zhurong.B.Mars.C.Wenchang space launch center.D.Tianwen-1.12.What can we learn about the rover Zhurong?A.It is named after a god of fire in Chinese story.B.It has five wheels and is about 240 kilograms heavy.C.It will stay on Mars for half a year to collect information.D.It makes China become the third country to land something on Mars.13.When was Tianwen-1 sent up into space?A.On March 5th, 2020.B.On July 23rd, 2020.C.In February, 2021.D.In May, 2021.14.According to this article, where is Tianwen-1 now?A.On the earth.B.On Mars.C.In Earth orbit.D.In Mars orbit.15.What is the task of the rover Zhurong?A.It will take photos of Tian Wen 1.B.It will carry out some scientific experiments.C.It will look for life on Mars’ surface.D.It will work out possible landing sites.04(2021·安徽淮上·九年级期中)Tianwen 1(天问一号)—is China’s first Mars probe(火星探测器). Where does the name come from? Do you still remember Qu Yuan, a famous poet in ancient China? He loved his motherland very much. His long poem “Heavenly Questions(天问)” expresses the continual hard work and the great spirit of the Chinese nation to science. That is why Tianwen1 was officially named, which is quite cultural and beautiful.On July 14, 2020. Tianwen 1 arrived at the Wenchang Space Launch Site(发射站) in Hainan Province.

火炬已经传给新一代美国人(The torch has been passed on to anew generation of Americans)星期五,1961年1月20日约翰逊副总统,Speaker先生,首席大法官先生、艾森豪威尔总统、尼克松副总统,杜鲁门总统,尊敬的牧师,同胞们,今天我们看到的不是政党的胜利,而是自由的庆典——象征着一个结束,也是一个开始——意味着更新,以及改变。

因为我已经在你和全能的上帝面前宣誓,这是我们先辈们在将近一个世纪和三个世纪以前提出的同样庄严的誓言。

现在的世界大不一样了。

因为人类掌握着消灭一切形式的人类贫困和各种人类生命的力量。

然而,我们的先辈们所奋斗的同样的革命信念仍然在全球各地争论着——认为人的权利不是来自国家的慷慨,而是来自上帝的手。

今天我们不敢忘记,我们是第一次革命的继承者。

让我们从这个时间和地点,朋友和敌人,这火炬已经传给新一代美国人-出生在本世纪,经历过战争的锻炼,在艰苦的和平,有纪律的骄傲我们的古老传统,他们不愿目睹或允许缓慢打倒那些人权是这个国家一直致力于,也是我们致力于在国内和世界各地的今天。

让每一个国家知道,无论它希望我们好还是坏,我们将付出任何代价,承担任何负担,面对任何困难,支持任何朋友,反对任何敌人,以确保自由的生存和成功。

这是我们的承诺——更多。

对于我们共同拥有的文化和精神渊源的老盟友,我们保证忠实朋友的忠诚。

团结,在众多的合作企业中我们几乎做不到。

分,没有什么我们可以做的-因为我们不敢应付强大的挑战在争吵不休、四分五裂时。

对于那些我们欢迎加入自由行列的新国家,我们保证说,一种殖民统治的形式不会仅仅被一个更为专制的暴政所取代。

我们不能总是指望他们支持我们的观点。

但我们始终希望看到他们坚定地支持自己的自由,并记住,在过去,那些愚蠢地骑着老虎寻求权力的人,最终到了里面。

对世界各地茅屋和村庄的人民竭力打破大众苦难的束缚,我们保证尽最大努力帮助他们帮助自己,无论需要什么时期——不是因为共产党可能这样做,不是因为我们寻求他们的选票,而是因为它是正确的。

高考英语时事热点话题阅读:热点16 外太空探测与载人航天梦(学生版+解析版)

高考英语时事热点话题阅读热点16 外太空探测与载人航天梦一、阅读理解1Humans may not have landed on Mars (火星) yet, but that isn’t stopping a European company from devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years. This project, called Mars One, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet."Everything we need to go to Mars exists,"said Mars One co-founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014. "We have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots to prepare the settlement for humans. For a one-way mission, all the technology exists."Yet the four astronauts (宇航员) chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars—forever. And despite Mars On’s thorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place. The biggest road blo ck could be the mission’s huge cost ($6 billion). However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast rights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In addition to the cost, several other potential problems could inhibit(阻止) the mission to Mars."It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air,with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars,"said Adam Baker, senior lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London. "The sheer size of the r ockets you’d need to do this would be absolutely colossal."1. According to Bas Lansdorp, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. For a one-way trip to Mars, all the technology exists.B. He could not come up with the fund for Mars One.C. We humans have the rockets to send people to Mars.D. We humans have the equipment to land on Mars.2. According to the passage, all the following statements are TRUE EXCEPT that ______________.A. a competition process will be held to select the four astronautsB. the cost of Mars One could go as much as $6 billionC. if it goes as planned, we could expect to watch Mars One on TVD. the four astronauts could return to Earth after a few years’ stay on Mars3. The word "colossal"in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______________.A. very largeB. very smallC. mediumD. average4. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Ready for a Round Trip to MarsB. Ready for a Short Visit to MarsC. Ready for a One-Way Trip to MarsD. Ready for a Walk on Mars2Scientists have not found any signs of life on Mars yet,but they say a robotic vehicle called “Curiosity” is helping them learn a lot about the planet’s history and climate.Curiosity landed on Mars in August 2012 after travelling through space for more than eight months.It was sent to Mars by scientists from NASA in the United States.Curiosity is about the size of a car and has six wheels.It also has a robotic arm,cameras,and instruments that allow it to examine things it finds on the surface.Then it sends the information back to the earth.Curiosity’s main task is to find out if anything could live on Mars,either now or in the past.On Nov.2,NASA scientists held a press conference (新闻发布会) to discuss what Curiosity had found in its first two months on Mars.Curiosity has found soil that is similar to the sand formed by volcanoes (火山) on the earth.Scientists say that studying the minerals in Martian soil will help them understand what conditions were like on the planet in the past.Curiosity also found smooth stones like the ones found on river beds and seashores on the earth,where their rough edges have been worn down by water.Mars is very cold and dry now,but scientists say the smooth stones tell them that a river used to run through the place where they were found.Curiosity has been testing the atmosphere around Mars for a type of gas called methane (甲烷),but so far it has not found any.On the earth,most methane is produced by plants or animals.Methane on Mars might indicate that some type of tiny plants or animals lived there.Curiosity is the fourth robotic vehicle to be sent to Mars.It will continue to explore the planet for about two years.5. Which of the following descriptions about Curiosity is TRUE?A. It landed on Mars in January 2012.B. It is small in size and has four arms.C. It took over eight months to arrive in Mars.D. It was sent to Mars by scientists from Russia.6. According to the information sent back by Curiosity,scientists believe that .A. there’s no air on MarsB. Mars is warm and wet nowC. the soil on Mars is richD. there used to be water on Mars7. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refers to “”.A. smooth stonesB. riversC. robotic vehiclesD. volcanoes8. We know from the sixth paragraph that .A. some tiny animals once lived on MarsB. there are no plants or animals on Mars nowC. the atmosphere around Mars is full of methaneD. Curiosity is designed to test the atmosphere around the earth9. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Humans benefit a lot by going to Mars.B. Scientists will stop the research on Mars soon.C. It is possible to build an earth-like environment on Mars.D. A robotic vehicle helps scientists get useful information from Mars.3Is it possible to live on other planets? The United States government is taking a serious look at the moon and Mars as potential places for future human settlement. The moon could serve as a training ground for later journeys to Mars. Currently, with Mars becoming the eventual long-term goal, serious questions exist as to whether the dangers of the settlement on the moon are too extreme and unnecessary.One major reason the settlement on the moon is too dangerous is the difference between the atmosphere environment of the moon and Mars. Atmosphere is important because it protects humans and all other life from a continuous attack of radiation (辐射) caused by sources such as the sun. This radiation is especially dangerous to humans because it increases the risk of cancer and can negatively change DNA. The fact that the moon has no atmosphere can cause great harm to human beings. Although Mars’ atm osphere is significantly thinner tha n Earth’s, at least it has one and would create some sort of protective barrier for humans.Another important characteristic necessary for human settlement is natural resources like water, of which the moon is believed to have none. Mars, however, contains vast quantities of water ice, dry ice, and also snow. There is also sufficient evidence that water once existed at the surface of Mars and might return in the future if the planet warms. With increased technologies, the potential for settlers to remain on Mars by being increasingly self-sufficient makes Mars a much more attractive goal as the space settlement than the moon.Future settlers will not only benefit from potential water on Mars; the planet is also rich in other natural resources such as oxygen, hydrogen, and minerals, which can be well used in productive ways. For example, hydrogen can be used as fuel, and it can be combined with nitrogen (氮气) to form new materials necessary for human settlement. Due to these advantages,Mars would be a more successful planet for exploration and settlement because it contains the basic resources necessary for humans to survive.Since the environment of Mars is more similar to that of Earth and it contains resources necessary to help life exist, it should be the only option for any kind of long-term human settlement. The settlement on Mars would not only be a milestone in space but also an excellent chance for mankind to improve itself from past adventures on Earth and preserve and make the best use of the natural resources Mars has to offer.10. According to Paragraph 2, the atmosphere on Mars would .A. change the DNA structure of humansB. measure the harmful radiation from spaceC. provide protection against dangerous effectsD. cause humans to be exposed to serious illnesses11. What can be inferred about water on Mars?A. It is not present in a liquid state.B. It doesn’t exist in l arge quantities.C. It will bring potential dangers to settlers.D. It can be easily changed into liquid forms.12. The author believes that .A. exploration of Mars takes great riskB. natural resources on Mars last foreverC. settlement on Mars is perfectly acceptableD. Mars is more suitable for settlement than Earth13. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA. B.C. D.4Junk can be an annoying thing. But dealing with the junk in your room is quite easy — just remove it. How about the junk in space? NASA is considering using lasers(激光) to move space junk around the Earth.Scientists suggest that the energy contained in the laser could change the junk’s course by 650 feet (about 198m) a day. While that won’t be enough to knock it out of orbit, it could avoid a collision with a space station or satellite. Where does space junk come from and why should scientists want to move it?There two main sources of space junk. One is exploded rockets. The largest amount of junk was caused by a rocket sent up into space in 1994. Its explosion in 1996 created a cloud of some 300,000 fragments(碎片), each at least 4 mm in size. Another source is astronaut error. Suppose an astronaut is doing a repair in space, he or she drops the wrench(扳手) and it’s gone forever. It spins into orbit, probably at a speed of around 6 miles(1.6km) asecond.Space junk is a huge threat to the lives of astronauts in space shuttles and on the International Space Station. A tiny speck(微粒) of paint from a satellite once dug a hole in a space shuttle window nearly half a centimeter wide.Scientists are fully aware of this problem. They monitor the paths of space fragments and immediately report any threat of an orbital impact. Some 20,000 pieces of rubbish are currently being monitored in low-Earth orbit.So far no effective ways have been found to avoid space junk.Is there any danger of us on Earth getting hit by space junk? Probably not. Scientists say most space objects that re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere burn up or re-enter over water. So relax! The chance of getting hit by a falling astronaut’s glove is small.14. According to the passage, which of the following probably is the greatest source of space junk?A. Space shuttles.B. Rocket fragments.C. Used satellites.D. Astronauts’ tools15. To deal with space junk around the Earth, NASA will use lasers to ________.A. knock space junk out of orbitB. destroy the space junk directlyC. move the space junk off courseD. prevent the space junk from spinning16. What can we learn from the passage?A. Scientists don’t think the space junk problem is serious.B. There are currently 20,000 pieces of rubbish around the Earth.C. Scientists have been following the paths of space junk closely.D. Several ways have been worked out for astronauts to avoid space junk.5At 8: 43 p.m. Beijing time on November 3, accompanied by the thunderous roar of engines, a 57-meter-tall rocket pushed itself into the sky over Hainan Province.An increasing number of Chinese rockets have been launched in the past few years, but this one was particularly significant. It was the first launch of the new Long March 5 rocket, which is much larger than previous versions of China’s carrier rockets. Its successful launch has pushed China to the forefront of the world in terms of rocket carrying capacity (容量、能力). The heavy-lift carrier rocket will enable China to build a permanent manned space station by 2022.“China is developing very rapidly into one of the major space players,” says Brian Harvey, a space analyst andauthor of China in Space: The Great Leap Forward. “You will see the Chinese quite visibly be gin to match the capacity of the other space powers.” “We are not satisfied with the achievements we have mad e in the fields of space technology. With the development of China’s space program, we are trying to make contributions to human knowledge about th e universe.” says Wang Chi of the National Space Science Center.For the next decade, the Tiangong Space Stat ion will be China’s principal destination. Although not as large as the International Space Station, it will have a broadly similar capacity to perform scientific experiments. China also plans to land a small rover (探测车) on the far side of the moon in 2018, which will be a world first. Also in the advanced planning stages is a over to go to Mars. Additionally, designs for a Long March 9 rocket are being studied. With the first launch of the rocket due in 2025, China could very well be in a position to land astronauts on the moon by 2030.China’s space program is making progress year upon year. It is quite clear that a dramatic shift in space power is taking place.17. Why was the launch on Nov. 3 particularly significant?A. It was first done from the sea in Hainan province.B. It was the first time to launch Chinese carrier rocket.C. It launched the biggest carrier rocket in the world.D. It marked a new era of space exploration in China.18. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Development of China’s space program.B. China’s contributions to space stations.C. Comments on China’s space exploration.D. China’s achievements in space technology.19. According to the text, what might China achieve for the next decade?A. To build a manned space station.B. To launch its Long March 5 rocket.C. To land astronauts on the moon.D. To perfect the International Space Station.20. What may be the best title for the text?A. The Great Event in HainanB. China’s New LaunchC. Chi na’s New Space PowerD. Space Plans for Next Decade6Mankind’s most famous “eye in the sky” turned 30 this year, taking a beautiful image of “space clouds” to celebrate.The Hubble Space Telescope, known to most simply as “Hubble”, was sent into space o n April 24, 1990. The telescope, one of our best space exploration tools, uses a large mirror to collect light and direct it into a powerful digital camera. This allows it to see parts of outer space that are located 10 to 15 billion light-years away.Each year on its birthday, the telescope takes a new image to celebrate. On its 30th birthday, Hubble took an image titled “Cosmic Reef”. The picture shows two big clouds of cosmic dust and gas: the giant red nebula NGC 2014 and a smaller blue nebula called NGC 2020, according to Space. The title of the image comes from NGC 2014’s appearance, as it looks like a large reef of red coral.Hubble has made many important discoveries over the last 30 years. For example, the telescope helped us discover four of Pluto’s five moons. This discovery made it possible to plan a mission for the New Horizons probe, which took never-before-seen images of Pluto in 2015. The telescope has also taken photos of pulsating stars. The regular pulses of light that come from these stars allow us to calculate the age of the universe, which is currently believed to be 13.7 billion years old.But Hubble’s work is not done yet. It is expected to continue working through the 2020s, when it will be joined by its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, according to CNET.21. What is the text mainly about?A. How the Hubble Space Telescope works.B. The Hubble telescope’s 30th anniversary.C. How the Hubble Space Telescope has helped us explore space.D. How scientists chose the follower of the Hubble telescope.22. What can we learn from the passage about the Hubble Space Telescope?A. It was the best space exploration tool.B. It was designed to be in service for about 40 years.C. It can see the whole outer space.D. The James Webb Space Telescope will take place of it soon.23. How is the telescope’s birthday celebrated each year?A. By titling a new space picture.B. By naming a new nebula.C. By taking a new image of space.D. By taking a new image of itself.24. Where is the passage most likely to be found?A. A magazine.B. A novel.C. A report.D. An advertisement.二、完形填空What is the most fun you can have in 21 hours and 23 minutes?

有关奥运火炬的作文英语

有关奥运火炬的作文英语英文回答:The Olympic Torch, an enduring symbol of the Olympic Games, represents the passage of the Olympic flame from Olympia, Greece, to the host city of the Olympic Games. The tradition of the Olympic Torch dates back to ancient Greece, where a sacred flame was kept burning in the Temple of Hera in Olympia. The flame was believed to represent the purity and spirit of the Olympic Games and was carried by runners from Olympia to the host city of the Games.The modern tradition of the Olympic Torch Relay beganin 1936 at the Berlin Olympic Games. The relay wasconceived as a way to build excitement for the Games and to promote the Olympic ideals of unity, friendship, and excellence. The Torch Relay has since become an integralpart of the Olympic Games, with thousands of torchbearers carrying the flame across the globe to the host city.The Olympic Torch is typically made of lightweight metal, such as aluminum or titanium, and is designed to withstand the rigors of the Torch Relay. The torch is often engraved with the Olympic rings and the logo of the host city. The flame is ignited in Olympia, Greece, by a parabolic mirror that focuses the sun's rays. The flame is then carried by torchbearers in a relay that travels through multiple countries and cities before arriving at the host city.The Olympic Torch Relay is a symbol of the Olympicspirit and the journey of the Olympic flame from its ancient origins to the modern Games. It is a celebration of the human body and the power of sport to bring people together.中文回答:奥运圣火。

It is my great honor to stand before you today to talk about the significance of passing on the torch. The act of passing on the torch represents the continuity of a legacy, the sharing of knowledge and experience, and the inspiration of future generations. It is a symbol of hope, unity, and progress.The tradition of passing on the torch dates back to ancient times, when it was used as a means of communication and as a way to signal important events. In the modern context, passing on the torch has taken on a new meaning, symbolizing the transfer of knowledge, values, and responsibilities from one generation to the next.As we look back on the history of passing on the torch, we are reminded of the Olympic Games, where the torch is lit in Olympia, Greece, and then carried by a series of runners to the host city of the games. This tradition symbolizes the unity of nations and the spirit of competition, as well as the passing of the Olympic ideals from one generation to the next.In our own lives, passing on the torch can take many forms. It can be as simple as sharing a piece of wisdom with a friend or as significant as mentoring a young person in their career. It can also involve passing on traditions, values, and cultural heritage to future generations.The act of passing on the torch is not only important for preserving the past, but also for shaping the future. By sharing our knowledge and experience with others, we can inspire and empower them to carry on the torch and make their own contributions to the world.

火炬已经传给新一代美国人
首席法官先生、艾森豪威尔总统、尼克松副总统、杜鲁门总统、尊敬的牧师、各位公民:今天我们庆祝的不是政党的胜利,而是自由的胜利。

这象征着一个结束,也象征着一个开端,标志着了一种更新,也标志着一种变革。

因为我已在你们和全能的上帝面前,宣读了我们的先辈在170多年前拟定的庄严誓言。

现在的世界已大不相同了,人类的手中掌握着既能消灭人间各种贫困,又能毁灭人类生命的力量。

但我们的先辈曾为之奋斗的那些革命信念,在世界各地仍然有着争论。

这个信念就是:人的权利不是来自国家的慷慨施与,而是来自上帝恩赐。

今天,我们不敢忘记我们是第一次革命的后代。

让我们的朋友和敌人同样听见我此时此地的讲话:火炬已经传给新一代美国人。

这一代人在本世纪诞生,在战争中受过锻炼,接受了一个艰苦,严峻的和平时期的考验,他们为我国悠久的传统感到自豪——他们不愿目睹或容忍那些人类权利被不断剥脱。

正是为了这些权利,这个国家一直在献身;也正是为了这些权利,我们今天在国内、在世界各地还在继续献身。

让每个国家都知道,不论它希望我们繁荣,还是希望我们衰落,为了确保自由的存在和自由的胜利,我们将付出任何代价,承受任何负担,应付任何艰难,支持任何朋友,反抗任何敌人。

这些就是我们的保证——而且还有更多的保证。

对那些和我们有着共同文化和精神渊源的昔日盟国,我们保证待以诚实朋友那样的忠诚。

团结起来,就能在许多合作事业中取得胜利;分歧对立,就会一事无成,因为在争吵和离异中,我们不敢面对这种强大的挑战。

对那些刚加入到自由行列的新国家我们表示欢迎,并保证:我们决不让一种更为残酷的专制统治来取代一种刚结束的殖民统治。

我们并不总是指望他们会支持我们的观点。

但我们始终希望看到他们坚强地维护自己的自由——而且要记住,在历史上,凡愚蠢地骑在虎背上谋求权力的人,都是以葬身虎口而告终。

对世界各地身居茅舍和乡村,为摆脱普遍贪困枷锁而斗争的人们,我们保证尽最大努力帮助他们自立,不管需要花多长时间——之所以这样做,并不是因为共产党可能会这样做,也不是因为我们需要他们的选票,而是因为这样做是正确的。

一个自由社会如果不能帮助众多的穷人,也就无法保全少数富人。

对我国南面的姐妹共和国,我们提出一项特殊的保证——在争取进步的新同盟中,把我
们善意的话语变为友好的行动,帮助自由的人们和自由的政府摆脱贫困的枷锁。

但是,这种充满希望的和平革命决不可以成为敌对国家的牺牲品。

我们要让所有邻国都知道,我们将和他们在一起,反对在美洲任何地区进行侵略和颠覆活动。

让所有其他国家都知道,这个半球上的人希望做自己家园的主人。

对于由各主权国家组成的联合国,我们再次重申对它的支持。

在今天这个战争工具的发展速度超过和平工具的时代中,它是我们最后的、最美好的希望。

我们要防止它仅仅成为谩骂的场所,要加强它对新生国家和弱小国家的保护,扩大它的行使法令的管束范围。

最后,对那些与我们为敌的国家,我们提出的不是保证而是要求:让我们重新开始寻找、求和平,不要等到科学所释出的危险破坏力量在有意或无意中使全人类沦于自我毁灭。

我们不敢以怯弱来引诱他们。

因为只有当我们毫无疑问地拥有足够的军备,我们才能毫无疑问地确信他们永远不会使用这些军备。

但是,这两个强大的国家集团都无法从目前所走的道路中得到安慰——双方都因发展现代武器所需的费用而不堪重负,都为致命的原子武器的不断扩散而忧心忡忡,但是,可是双方都在努力改变那不稳定的恐怖均衡,而此种均衡却可以暂时阻止人类发动最后的战争。

因此,让我们双方重新开始,而且双方都要牢记:礼貌并不意味着怯弱,诚意永远有待于验证。

让我们决不要由于畏惧而谈判。

但我们决不能畏惧谈判。

让双方都来探讨使我们团结起来的问题,而不要耗费心力于那些使我们分裂的问题。

让双方首次为军备检查和军备控制制订认真而又明确的提案,把能够毁灭他国的绝对力量置于所有国家的绝对控制之下。

让双方寻求利用科学的奇迹,而不是它的恐怖。

让我们一起探索星球,征服沙漠,根除疾患,开发深海,并鼓励艺术和商业的发展。

让双方团结起来,在全世界各个角落倾听以赛亚的训令——“解下轭上的索,使被欺压的得自由。


如果建立合作的基础可以缓和相互猜忌的丛林,那么就让双方共同作一次新的努力:不是建立一种新的权力平衡,而是创造一个新的法治世界,在这个世界中,强者公正,弱者安全,和平将得到维护。

所有这一切都不可能在第一个一百天,第一个一千天或者在本届政府任期内完成,甚至不可能在我们的有生之年内完成。

但是,让我们开始吧。

同胞们,我们这个伟大事业的最终成败主要掌握在你们手中,而不是我的手中。

自这个国家建立以来,每一代美国人都曾受到召唤去证明他们对国家的忠诚。

而那些响应召唤而为
之献身的美国青年的坟墓遍布全世界。

现在,号角已再次吹响——不是召唤我们拿起武器,虽然我们需要武器,不是召唤我们去作战,虽然我们严阵以待。

它召唤我们为迎接黎明而肩负起进行漫长斗争的重任,年复一年,“在希望中欢呼,在苦难中忍耐”,去反对人类共同的敌人——专制、贫困、疾病和战争本身。

为反对这些敌人,确保人类更为丰裕的生活,我们能够建立一个包括东西南北各方的全球大联盟吗?你们是否愿意加入这种具有历史意义的努力呢?
在世界的漫长历史中,只有少数几代人在最危急的时刻被赋予保卫自由的责任。

我不会推卸这一责任,我欢迎这一责任。

我相信我们中没有人愿意与任何任何人或任何任何一代交换位置。

我们为这一努力所倾注的精力、信念和奉献,将照亮我们的国家和所有为国效劳的人,而从这团火焰中发出的光芒必将照亮全世界。

因此,美国同胞们,不要问国家能力你们做些什么,而要问你们能为国家做些什么。

全世界的公民们,不要问美国将为你们做些什么,而要问我们共同能为人类的自中做些什么。

最后,不论你们是美国公民还是其他国家的公民,请用我们要求你们的有关力量与牺牲的高标准来要求我们。

问心无愧是我们唯一可靠的奖赏,历史将是我们行动的最终审判者,让我们走向前去,引导我们所热爱的国家。

我们祈求上帝的福佑和帮助,但我们知道,上帝在地球上的工作也是我们自己的工作。
